One's a lefty. One's a righty. One's a sophomore. One's a junior. But whichever one is on the mound for the La Quinta baseball team, coach Brian Wisler feels confident.

And having two trust-worthy pitchers is a necessity if you want to make a CIF final, like the Blackhawks have done for the first time in school history.

When La Quinta takes on Monrovia at 7 p.m. Saturday in the Division 4 championship game, it will be sophomore Naun Haro getting the start, with junior Andres Arellano, who started the semifinal, ready to go if needed.

Haro and Arellano -- both starting twice -- have been amazing this postseason. In the four victories, the Blackhawks have allowed a total of only four runs. It's hard to lose if you're only yielding one run a game.

"The only way to survive in the playoffs is you gotta have guys that can go out there and pound the strikezone, not walk people, and we have two guys like that," Wisler said during the team's final practice of the year Friday. "Naun and Andres have been our horses all year long and what they're doing right now, they've been doing all season long so this isn't a shock."

Haro will be the one getting the call Saturday, and Wisler said he wouldn't want anyone else with the ball in his hand.

"Naun is just a competitor. Typical lefty. Happy-go-lucky, but he's pitched in a bunch of big games for us," said the first-year coach. "He goes out there and he has fun on the mound and he produces results. I wouldn't change anything about him. I expect him to step up big like he's done before. He's just a big-time pitcher. ... And we've got Andres in relief if we need him. That's nice, too."

So since this Blackhawks squad has already made history, they might as well keep making it. They would be the third team in the desert to win a CIF title if they accomplish the feat, joining Palm Desert (2010, 2012) and Desert Christian Academy (2013).

It's something the players admit they've thought about.

"When we won the semifinal, we were jumping up and down in the middle of the field going crazy," Arellano said. "Hey, it's the first time in the history of the school going to the championship. You gotta celebrate. Right? ... But we're not done yet."

Monrovia won D-5 title in 2006 and lost in finals in 2007, but hasn't been in championship game since. ... La Quinta bidding to be only third school from desert to ever win a CIF baseball title joining Palm Desert (2010, 2012) and DCA (2013).
